the point about men and women
On my way home today, I was just thinking about gender issues... don't ask why. Strange topics like that just simply pop into my head...
The farnie thing about men and women today is while equality of the sexes is strongly advocated (I am a firm believer of this!), when it comes to relationship matters, most men and women suddenly revert to Neanderthal beliefs.
Issue #1
Most women still expect men to make the first move.
Woe to the gal who has the guts to go up to the man and ask him out. I am not saying then it is wrong for women to make the first move. In fact, I will applaud the gal who does so. You go, gal! I just simply dun believe in it cos it doesn't work for me personally. I have tried this out and got a rejection right in my face. Therefore, I firmly believe men have to make the first move.
Issue #2
Women expect equal partnership but they still expect pampering.
Frankly, women are probably the most oxymoronic creatures in this world. I'm also speaking for myself! We expect to be taken seriously, our views to be heard etc. However, we do have softer natures where we will and can cry out of sheer frustration at times. This are also the most frustrating moments for men.
Scenario 1 - Gal goes boo hoo hoo over her problems. She expects her man to comfort her. Unfortunately, being male, he simply just doesn't know what to do at moments like this. He just offer her a tissue and hold her, lest he says the wrong thing that can detonate a nuclear bomb. Gal rebutts, "Why can't you say something to comfort me? You're so insensitive!" The innocent guy just 'kena' for keeping quiet.
Scenario 2 - Gal goes boo hoo hoo over her problems. She wails and bitches about her problems. 'Superman to the rescue' will simply run down a list of solutions to solve her problem. Gal wails even more. "All I wanted was for you to comfort me? Couldn't you do that? You're so insensitive!" The poor guy also 'kena' for trying to be Superman.
Why do you think I say women are oxymoronic? Name me another animal who does these things. I can be Wonder Woman at work but when it comes to relationships, I am a 'xiao nu ren'. I need to be pampered. I still expect my guys to pay for dinner, I like my dates to drive, I like men who a good dressers etc.
Not that I am materialistic... paying for dates indicates the guy's interest in you. After all, if he is so stingy on dates, I really can't imagine the kind of boyfriend, husband and father he will be. Paying for dates and taking care of my welfare shows me how good a provider he is. It's a strong point when it comes to marriage.
As for driving... I have little patience with public transport. I take it everyday and it frustrates me. When you are carrying heavy things, bus stops always seem further than they actually are. When you need a cab, they never seem to appear. This is why I am learning how to drive now. I am so getting a car when I get my license. If I have a car and a license, shouldn't my date have one? How romantic is it for me to drive him around... Again, I am not stingy. It's simply a question of taking care of my welfare and providing for me - a strong point when it comes to marriage.
Revelation Moment: This explains why I still single. I have not found a man like that, unlike my 'just married' buddy. Her hubby is the ultimate provider - financially and emotionally. I just haven't had the good fortune of finding a good provider, capable of being a good boyfriend, husband and father. I'm still holding out for the guy for me. I'm done with relationships that don't have any marriage destination. It's simply a waste of time. Until I find the guy, I contented to simply live my life, my way.
It's so strange that I finally got all my thoughts sorted out when I was in Cambodia. Looking at the lives of the people there, it's a reminder that life is just too short to be wasted. I want my life to have value every waking moment. To me, a wasted life is one that had no positive impact on anyone's life... I want to be able to look back on my life, look at the things I've done and be pleased that there was a purpose to my existence in this life.

to marriage
2 Saturdays ago, 23 June, my best friend finally got married... Watching her and her hubby together, I must say they were really a very good looking and sweet couple... Marital bliss was literally plastered on their faces...
The night before, I had dinner at her place and we had a manicure and pedicure party with her sisters. It was fun because it felt like I suddenly had 2 younger sisters... lolz... We were really disciplined. By ten, it was lights out for the bride and the mom. The rest of us were planning the 'sabo' sequence of events... afterall, what's a wedding without the 'sabo'...
The next morning, I was the early bird who got up early to prepare the 'sabo' stuff. To symbolise the 'sour, sweet, bitter and spiciness' of love, this was what we prepared:
Sour - lemon juice (so kind of us, rite?)
Sweet - sugar + water (it was diabetes inducing!)
Bitter - bittergourd juice (must drink to health...)
and the most deadly of all...
Spiciness - chilli padi + hot water
All these were placed in deceptively lovely shooters... lolz...
Not to forget the games we played like 'Find the Keys' (Stage 1: at the door), 'Limbo Rock' (Stage 2: at the hall), 'Drink the shooters' (Stage 3: at the corridor) and finally 'Sing a song' (Stage 4: outside the bridal room)
After that we went to the groom's place for tea ceremony before returning back to the bride's place for another round of tea ceremony. At about 2 pm, we headed for the hotel, Four Seasons. I am so impressed with their rooms... it is so absolutely gorgeous!
By 6. 30pm, it was time for the solemnisation of the marriage. When I saw them exchanged rings, I couldn't help tearing... tears of joy. When you have known someone for 11 years, it really feels like watching your sister get married. Especially knowing that he is a great guy, I am definitely happy for her.
During the reception, they had a champagne bar which was so classy... a real great way to begin the dinner. During the dinner, the food was good. I really enjoyed it very much. After the dinner, we went up to the room with the bride while the groom was dragged to KTV (decent ones!) by his 'pig & dog' friends. The dinner which they brought it for my friend was really good!
To everyone intending to hold their wedding ceremony, do go to Four Seasons. The decor is classy, the food is delicious, the bridal suite is gorgeous... what more can I say...
On the theme on marriage, here are some jokes about marriage.. enjoy!
Wife: What are you doing?
Husband : Nothing.
Wife : Nothing ...? You've been reading our marriage certificate for an hour !
Husband : I was looking for the expiry date.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Wife : Do you want dinner?
Husband : Sure ! What are my choices ?
Wife : Yes and no.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Wife: You always carry my photo in your wallet. Why ?
Hubby: When there is a problem, no matter how impossible, I look at your picture, and the problem disappears.
Wife: You see how miraculous and powerful I am for you ?
Hubby: Yes! I see your picture and ask myself --- what other problem can be greater than this one ?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Girl: When we get married, I want to share all your worries, troubles and lighten your burden. Boy: It's very kind of you, darling, but I don't have any worries or troubles.
Girl: Well that's because we aren't married yet !
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Son: Mom, when I was on the bus with Dad this morning, he told me to give up my seat to a lady.
Mom: Well, you have done the right thing.
Son: But mom, I was sitting on daddy's lap.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
A newly married man asked his wife " Would you have married me if my father hadn't left me a fortune ? "
"Honey," the woman replied sweetly, " I'd have married you, NO MATTER WHO LEFT YOU A FORTUNE ! "
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Girl to her boyfriend: One kiss and I'll be yours forever.
The guy replies: Thanks for the early warning.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
A wife asked her husband: What do you like most in me, my pretty face or my sexy body?
He looked at her from head to toe and replied: I like your sense of humor.
